During an attic insulation project in Hinchinbrooke, Quebec, our specialist detected high moisture within the attic, which had led to mold growth. We removed all the contaminated insulation, then thoroughly treated the area using our Mold-X2 product to eliminate any mold spores and prevent them from spreading again. Once the attic was properly sealed, we installed our TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an R60 thermal value. This intervention improved the home's energy efficiency and also regulated the moisture issues, thus creating a more comfortable and healthier living environment year-round.
Client was confused since he installed new insulation a couple of years ago, but is still experiencing uncomfortable air drafts within the house. Upon inspecting the attic, our specialist informed him that air sealing of all the leaks should have been done prior to installing the insulation. The perfect solution was to remove the existing insulation that started to show signs of deterioration due to the excess humidity. Then, a thorough inspection is done to identify an seal all the air leaks. After that, baffles were installed to regulate the ventilation within the attic, and approximately 17" of our TruSoft cellulose insulation were blown inside the attic to ensure a thermal value of R60. It is important to say that cellulose insulation can easily cover problematic spaces within the attic, and thus provide better insulating performance.
A homeowner in Saint-Louis-De-Gonzague, Quebec, was really concerned because, despite having installed new insulation two years ago, he continued to feel uncomfortable drafts inside the house. During the attic inspection, our specialist explained that air sealing of the leaks should have been done thoroughly before installing the insulation. The optimal solution was to remove the existing insulation, which showed signs of deterioration due to excess humidity in the attic. A thorough inspection was then conducted to identify and seal all air leaks, including those around pipe holes and recessed lighting fixtures. Afterwards, baffles were installed to improve air circulation and ventilation in the attic, and approximately 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation were blown in to achieve an R60 thermal value. It is important to note that cellulose insulation is particularly effective at filling problematic spaces in attics. Additionally, it is designed to resist corrosion.
A homeowner in Saint-Stanislas-De-Kostka, Quebec, was worried about the situation within his attic. During our inspection, our specialist identified significant degradation of the existing insulation during to air leaks, compounded by the presence of mold spores within the wood structure. To rectify this, we first removed the compromised insulation, followed by sealing all air leaks using our ZypFoam solution to ensure an airtight barrier. After effectively eliminating mold spores with Mold-X2, we proceeded with the installation of 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation, which provides an R60 thermal resistance value.
A homeowner in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec was frustrated after hiring other contractors to insulate his attic, without successful results. The insulation was always quickly deteriorating, causing humidity, drafts, mold, and high Hydro bills.
Our team removed the old insulation, sealed all air leaks with our ZypFoam spray foam, then blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation up to reach the thermal R-value of 60.
